Noticed something since patch...Follow

I think it's just the fact that people are better geared and tanks understand how to grab earlier. Granted, I didn't run many dungeons in 3.1 but in 3.0 many people were still getting gear and learning the new style of tanking. Now when you run a dungeon with pugs it's usually people that are decently geared and understand the aggro who are just going for quick emblems. It's a lot easier to be a destruction lock if your tank has raided, understand how the class works now, and out gears the place compared to someone that's still looking for a dungeon drop or still has the mentallity of a BC style tank.

Granted due to emblem changes, their are better tanks out there now, I still encounter mostly poor agro holding tanks. That is why I stick to demo in 5-mans.

I know that destro is a higher dps spec. In most cases for 5-mans, I just feel that the tanks just aren't up to par with holding agro when a destro lock is in the group.

When I made the OP, I'd really only been in 3 or 4 runs where their was another lock, which was destro. I went as demo. In those runs, the tank did fine. Due to that, I did try going destro spec in a 5-man heroic, but I ended up dying a few times, due to pulled agro.
